ahahahaha

diety has cannons and muskets.. The best units winzity had was planx and chariots. He couldn't even kill one of deitys units when he was invaded.. Diety is reaching for excuses now to justify attacking people.

This was the first time I think I've declared war outright.

In all other cases I had either been attacked or, in an alliance game, my ally had been attacked.

Hadn't realized a parrot could sing so many tunes.

I don't think markusf has realised how much his rep has been damaged by refusing to play on certain settings.

Hollow words indeed

umm who declared war on you in HOTW2.. from my recollection you launched a first strike policy before the Zulus had even built a decent army

Hydey · June 13, 2002, 05:53

Come on Raz, Deity is very old and forgetful, he only remembers that he is spotless.

War4ever · June 13, 2002, 23:24

is ras still playing civ...if so ras, the challenge is you vs. eyes......your spotless reps are on the line

SuperSneak · June 14, 2002, 14:07

Well, someone here is a spotted ****, and it isn't me.

Excuse me?

World War Three was started by YOU Raz!

You attacked Mali (Belinda)...

Then ozzy took your civ the next week and decimated Mali, even their Cap, in a most undiplo manner

You uncovered a plot for many civs, led by the Zulus (drake), to attack me, the Aussies. So I attacked them because of some reason, can't exactly remember now; but it was a good reason considering the plot against me....

Alexander's Horse · June 15, 2002, 07:56

Now come on Deity - you would have to be the most active behind the scenes plotter I have ever seen.

And I remember that you Hydey are one of the few players to take one of my cities! Three I think in one go... I've NOT forgotten that, considering I've NEVER attacked you....

Oops, Hydey, you've made it onto Deity's Axis Of Evil list.

Hydey · June 16, 2002, 06:51

Yes i am one of those evil people who attack someone who is allied to someone else that you are at war with.

Caught deity with his pants down

finbar · June 16, 2002, 07:30

Parrots coming home to roost, hm?

Alexander's Horse · June 16, 2002, 10:06

He better get them to work on the phone line again

War4ever · June 16, 2002, 20:19

Alliances are made to be broken.......

"keep your friends close ,and your enemies closer"

i have always liked that line...and it applies here too i think

Do Ming and RAH know?

I'll just quote in case you edit

War4ever · June 16, 2002, 21:10

Not really sure what the twin towers think on that one.....its never been a problem, the treachery in our games.....

the only feuds are those involving nukes....

Alexander's Horse · June 16, 2002, 21:56

I just remember Ming and RAH writing in many threads that they would never ally again with an ally that backstabbed them.

Perhaps a few lonely games for you ahead

War4ever · June 16, 2002, 23:14

well nowadays we play every man for himself....alliances ruin the game..first two that meet have such a huge advantage.....

Alexander's Horse · June 17, 2002, 00:16

You are the sort of player who should just be attacked on sight

very good Markus, very good indeed.

War4ever · June 17, 2002, 10:11

who are you kidding Markus......more often than not your the one over the barrels in x2 Rah games

you state as much via icq to me the other day.....just not in those words exactly

Depends on the situation. If they backstab in the first few turns, then I'd be pissed, but every alliance at some point loses it's luster. In fact, I can remember breaking an alliance with War4, many years ago and taking about 7 of his cities in one turn. These days, we don't even allow alliances. And the gentlemen's agreements aren't always between gentlement.

But I don't take that stuff personally anymore. Life is too short.

Now with Markus, we just try to make sure we're playing with people that won't agree to be his trade whore. He has been much easier to handle since.

The last game we played, he named his civ the RAH-Killers. And sacrificed any hope he had in the game just to take a few of my cities. Even after he suceeded, his civ was pathetic. Look what he's been reduced to

But at least overall he's one of the better players and always offers a challange to contribute to the fun. That's what the game is about. Now if he'd just learn to limit his boasting, nawwwww

ya my civ was pathetic but i had huge production. I had a choice at the start, "try" to build up my civ which would have been extremely hard, or go the war path which was easy.
Seeing as the game would stop in 6 hours never to continue again, i figured that was a better alternitive then sitting there and hitting enter waiting for techs to come. (i was at 25 turns a tech for a while) That and the fact i lost my first 6 units to the celts and the egypt made me out for some blood.

As for boasting, that is more of a pshyc weapon from my rts days. If people think your stronger then them they hesitate on the attack, if they think your coming to flatten their civ they change build orders etc etc. Civ is all about perception, you base your attack on what you think the other guy has, you base your defence on what you think the other guy has etc etc etc. Most of you 2x 1x players still can't understand my defending with warrors

And war4ever i said 2x 2x.. I tried a few games but am just not into it anymore. In the rah games I have never lost a city.. mostly because we never get far enough to have a real war. IE tatics.

rah · June 17, 2002, 14:47

Your comments about perception are dead on. And it's always good to mix up your stratagy to keep people guessing. If you balls out go after someone one game, they're going to remember that for the next 10 games if you're their neighbor and will expend more resources defending. As stated above, you're one of the better players. I don't think anyone on these threads will deny that unless we're having one of those stupid "who's the best threads". But we really don't need to be reminded again and again. I think it's lost it's effectiveness with us, so feel free to tone it down.

Save it for the newbies.
